Lent
The season of Lent lasts 40 days to represent the amount of time Jesus spent in the desert — fasting and preparing for his ministry — and to celebrate, many Christians choose to make a sacrifice of their own over those 40 days. Luxuries like dessert or alcohol are commonly given up for Lent, or Christians may perform acts of kindness through volunteer work throughout the Lenten season. It's also common for Christians (particularly Roman Catholics) to give up meat over Lent, either throughout all 40 days or just on Fridays up until Easter. https://www.womansday.com/life/a25856911/when-is-lent Pastor Walker will read a Scripture each week day of Lent that will focus on our annual theme.
